Abstract

Let AA be a sheaf of Azumaya algebras over a Noetherian base SS. In this paper we describe using generalized Severi-Brauer varieties, a quasi-projective moduli space parametrizing sheaves of \`etale subalgebras of AA. In the case that SS is the spectrum of a field, we study the geometry of this moduli space, and show that in certain cases it is a rational variety.
